Abstract: One or more embodiments provide an extensible user interface for navigating a graph in a tabular format for which the extensible user interface is arranged in a hierarchy of views. The hierarchy includes an entry point level having at least one extension added by an application, wherein data is displayed when the extensible user interface is initially accessed by the user. The hierarchy further includes an inventory level having at least one extension added by the application, wherein data is displayed when the user selects an extension at the inventory level. Another level of the hierarchy is a category extension level having at least one extension added by an application, wherein data is displayed when the user focuses the extensible user interface on a node displayed by an extension added at the inventory level.

Abstract: An internet-based content platform for providing subscription levels to channels are described. The internet-based content platform presents to an end user, a channel that includes a plurality of media items, a list of types of access to the plurality of media items, and a plurality of subscription levels associated with different subscription fees for different types of access. The channel is one of a plurality of channels of an internet-based content platform. The internet-based content platform receives a selection of one of the plurality of subscription levels for the channel. The internet-based content platform records the selected subscription level of the end user for the channel. The internet-based content platform provides a type of access to the plurality of media items of the channel for the end user according to the recorded subscription level of the end user for the channel.

Abstract: A content server stores digital content including video, audio, image, animation, or text content. The content server receives account permissions governing video access for a restricted account that an authorizing account supervises. The content server also receives a designation by the authorizing account of a delegate account authorized to control video access for the restricted account. The content server receives a request from the restricted account to view a video and determines whether the restricted account may view the video according to the account permission. In response to determining that the authorized account is not authorized to view the requested video, the content server transmits an authorization request to the delegate user, who provides authorization for the restricted account to view the video. In response to authorization from the delegate account, the content server transmits the video to the restricted user.

Abstract: A mouse-and-keyboard based user interface is updated based on gestures made on a touch screen that is displaying the mouse-and-keyboard based user interface. The user interface update process includes the steps of receiving one or more touch events in response to a gesture made on the touch screen, translating the touch events to a mouse-and-keyboard based command, transmitting the mouse-and-keyboard based command to an operating system, and receiving an updated display in response thereto.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a virtual machine infrastructure including an application model and a user interface for displaying data associated with a plurality of nodes. The user interface is arranged in a hierarchy of views. An application is added to the infrastructure by adding an edge category and a view extension to the infrastructure. The user interface simultaneously displays the added view extension together with a view extension provided by another application.

Abstract: A content platform that includes subscribable paid channels is provided. The content platform receives, via a user interface, a request of an end user to subscribe to a paid channel.
